Estimated repair cost for shattered power button on iPad 11 without AppleCare

On my Ipad 11, the power button shattered. I got a notification that my touch ID wasn’t working on my ipad and just noticed the button shattered.


What would an estimate on repair costs be? I do not have Apple Care on this Ipad.

For practical purposes, in lieu of repairing and returning your own iPad, Apple usually exchange the iPad for a renewed/refurbished iPad of the same model and specification. The cost of the exchange is the same as would otherwise be charged for repair. Unless you have benefit of an active AppleCare plan, an out-of-warranty repair while expensive will be somewhat less than the cost of a replacement iPad.


As for out-of-warranty repair costs, Apple offers a fixed-price price repair. You can verify eligibility and cost for your region/country here:

With an active AppleCare+ plan, the cost of repair is reduced to a small excess/deductible fee.
